Hon James M. Porter
Dear Sir
I desire to obtain through you some information from the Pension Office relative to drawing a pension under a late act of Congress knowing that I would obtain the information through you with more certainty than by writing direct to the pension agent or commissioner. Mary Goldy widow of John Goldy a sergeant in the Revolution who died on the 4th day of July 1831 drew a pension under the act of July 7th 1838 granting pensions for five years to widows &c to commence on 4th March 1839 by virtue of a certificate dated 11th March 1840 as recorded in Pension office in Book A. Vol 2 Page 52 by D. McCurdy Clk. I drew the pension for the old lady the last time and as instructed by the agent at May. Park Philips returned to him the certificate. An act was approved March 3rd 1843 granting a pension for one year to certain widows which I think embraces the case of the old lady. And I am at a loss to ascertain the form and manner of proceeding to draw the same whether new proof of identity &c is required as the act refers to the Act of 1838 I suppose it is to be drawn semi annually viz 4th March & 4th Sept. But the certificate being returned to the office creates the difficulty with me. Will you be kind enough to have me a form sent with directions or if it would not be asking too much please have a copy made of a paper upon which a pension has been drawn under this act as returned to the office & forwarded me. The last time pension was drawn

was in 1821 I think. Has there been any act of Congress since that time granting pensions to widows under circumstances such as the one described if so I should like to ascertain the manner of proceeding.
Your attention will much oblige myself & be kindly received by the old lady on whose behalf I write.
I am
Yours &c.
